Gun weighs in at 3.5 pounds with the barrel, 3 without it. I plan on getting a ULT mod as soon as I can afford it. The paint job is 3 coats auto primer, 3 coats red flake model paint, 3 coats gloss topcoat and a Dupont teflon wax job. Here's the pics!

Before:

And After:

I made the decal myself using MS Photodraw and decal paper. If you don't get it, my name is Otto. Pretty sweet huh?!

Although, i think if you left some of the classic RT elements (such as the holes in the front, and maybe the sightrail) it would look even neater

Also, i wouldnt have gone with paint -- It looks nice for paint, but anno (or for the SS body, powder coat) wouldve provided a nicer and more permanant finish.

Still, you did a great job, and it looks nice.

Yeah, the paintjob will probably stay on just for the fall. When I replenish my spending money its going off to KPCUSTOMS for some nice irridecent powder coating...
The original holes are all still functional ( except for the front row, they got chopped off).
The forgrip has a slot milled in it so I can slide it forward or even turn it around.
LukesCustoms does some real quality work.

I went creative and different with the one because its my second RT classic. This is my other one...

KP does some nice PC

And yes, Luke's the man, he's good with the mill (its all by hand too!)

Yup, thats the original body and valve.
Paintjob--> see first post. It looks good for photos and and is durable enough for handling but like any autopaint, it wasn't made being dropped, scratched or bumped so I don't imagine it will last long on the field. I will get PC'd eventually...

I went with macroline on the other side. I had to remove the hardline because by repositioning the ASA the hardline was the wrong length and I couldn't modify it without damaging it. But the marco line looks pretty good so I don't mind too much...

Yeah, I like the milling too. Luke hand milled it and ULE'd the front inside. First one of its kind!

Hmm, well I was firing this sucker last night and I'm going to have to tweak it. With the sear mod the trigger is a little too short and sensitive. If I'm firm with it like a classic mag it shoots pretty much normal, but if shoot it like an electro the RT effect kicks in REALLY FAST!! It feel like I'm ramping and adding in some serious shots. It almost sounds like I'm going full-auto in bursts.
I could leave it, but I don't have a halo on it so I don't want it shooting TOO fast... Plus some fields are scared of mechs that shoot like Timmys
